Physical Therapist Forms & Instructions

Physical therapy advisors, together with the Secretary of State’s Office of Professional Regulation (OPR), work to administer licensing for your profession. The documents on this page serve to guide applicants and licensees through initial application or renewal. Before you begin your initial, renewal, or reinstatement application, please review OPR’s application fees and 90 Day Initial Licensing Policy.

Vermont is now part of the Physical Therapy Licensure Compact. Please visit the Physical Therapy Licensure Compact webpage for more information.

A 90-day provisional license can be issued if all application requirements are complete EXCEPT for the official verification of licensure or the results of a criminal background check. Apply online and request your 90-day temporary license today.

Please log in to our Online Services System, to apply, renew, update an application/license, request a verification, and more.
